David Hockney depicted a 'peaceful, gay paradise' when homosexuality was a crime

David Hockney's early painting, We Two Boys Together Clinging, created in 1961, captured a same-sex embrace when homosexuality was illegal in the UK. Hockney, who died at 88, used his art to challenge taboos and depict gay domestic life. His work paved the way for greater acceptance of queer relationships in British culture.
